XO-4 is a star located approximately 896 light-years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation. It has a magnitude of about 11 and cannot be seen with the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope. A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at MMT Observatory was negative.

One known exoplanet, XO-4b, which is classified as a hot jupiter, orbits XO-4. This exoplanet was discovered in 2008 by the XO Telescope project using the transit method.
